For an X model I would take the #2, definitely.
Argumentation: High ET numbers (X models) don't allow so "deep" wheel design as low ET numbers (non X models) do. And that's why the #2 will look much better, IMO

That's good (and different) input! Thank you ... It's my personal favorite even though my spouse thinks it's too "frilly"
If she keeps that up I'll cancel her X6 order before the weekend is over - that'll show her who's in charge

#2, but in 19" and in Staggered. The rear wheel has a better offset, which gives a much better "concave" look. It also looks better with a wider rear.
